Had a nice wee gathering for yer wains bday. Well take yer shite wi u. They had bags so why leave all this shite about. Hate people

An utter disgrace. Did they ever even reveal what caused the second fire?

Spoiler, of course he doesn't.

You can almost hear the squirming.

Created a wee map of a few small independent businesses in the Trongate area that deserve lots of love. A perfect wee day out checking these guys out if you looking for something different to do over the summer.

there were police everywhere, and one had a gun. there were multiple police cars outside with their lights on. sorry if this isn’t the right flair for this post since technically i only saw sirens.

Went and seen “The Odyssey” tonight in the Maxx screen on Renfrew Street, it was very good, and highly recommend.

I fear I may need hearing aids, though. That was the loudest cinema experience of my life. I was right in the middle, but my sister was on the sofa beds down the front, she said she had to put her fingers in her ears at points it was so loud.

Hey people. I'm surprised the opening of the Commonwealth Games tomorrow isn't being shown on TV. You need to take out a subscription for TNT Sports.

If anyone is interested in watching the opening ceremony, Queen's Park Govanhill Church, 170 Queen's Drive is showing it for free. They are having a Opening Ceremony Celebration Party and Screening at 7.00pm.

Hey I’m moving to Ibrox in a few days, just wondering if anyone has any recommendations for places to eat/ drink in the wide area. Much appreciated, we are pretty open to all kinds of foods etc.

Totally delete if not allowed, but desperate.
Did anyone happen to find a black fake leather fanny pack at the outdoor callisthenics gym in the Queen’s Park rec?
There was two passports in it (I know, daft). It was about 6pm today 22/07. Went to the police station but wasn’t handed in. Any info or tips would be greatly appreciated.

Anyone with a motorbike in Glasgow be aware of 'Ankle' grinder thieves on the prowl. According to the article ankle grinders are a very common tool.

Here is the link:

It used to be the norm for an article to be proof read.....

Just wondering if anyone has seen ‘The Odyssey’ at any IMAX’s in Glasgow and surrounding area and has any feedback on if the screen ratio was appropriate for the film?

I usually just go to the Odeon but seen a lot of people saying the IMAX is the best way to watch it.

Any recommendations for where would be best would be great, no place in Glasgow is too far either.

Any news on connecting battlefield pedestrianisation/bike lane project?

Road between Marks Spencer and the hospital has recently been resurfaced. Would this be done if intending to dig up for a bike lane anytime soon?

Hi everyone!

Moving up to Glasgow soon and will be working in festival quay, but looking at the commute it looks to be a bit tricky to get to.

It looks like by bike it might be doable (8 miles each way -as long as my lungs don't give out on me) but I'm not sure what the bike parking situation is like - I'm not 100% clear if I'll have secure parking at work. If it's on street parking only, am I better off not bothering or will I be fine to leave my bike parked up and locked? I know in Manchester it really depends on the area (and let's be real, the bike 😂). I might make my life easier and get an e-bike, for example, but I would rather not park it up in the morning and find out at lunchtime that it's gone walkies.

Any advice greatly appreciated (that includes telling me not to be daft trying to cycle that far) 😂

Looking for a solid and reliable salon or barber that specialises or does frequent perms for men. Ideally NOT the curly poodle head type of perm. Any recommendations would be great, thank you.

Can anyone recommend any decently run, kids football clubs (2018) in and around the Southside of Glasgow (from a couple of miles around Toryglen... even EK)?

The boy is staring to ask about joining a team, and I've got the fear (and lingering childhood memories) over the horrible coaches and nightmare parents on the sidelines 😂

Anyone know what's being filmed in August and September? I noticed there are road closures scheduled for Bothwell Street, Broomielaw and around that area. Could it be the next Avengers film?

Is the car entry on Pollokshaws Road closed? Was checking Google Maps there and it’s saying that entry is closed til January.

Does anyone know where cars can enter the park?

TIA.

Hi Folks,

As per the title I'm going to Glasgow later in the year for a gig. Any good food/bar places, on the more the causal side that wouldn't require a reservation. The gig itself is in SWG3, any good places out that way? from reading around, it seems like an awkward spot to get to. Lastly, any good independent record stores in the city. Thanks in advance.

Places, events, people, experiences - anything! Got pals visiting from NYC and want to point them in some good directions.
